about

Born in Montreal, Nicolas Patterson was raised in an environment where English and French would quite often merge into one language. The young artist initially introduced himself as a leading member in numerous punk bands. However, as he would mature and grow up, his sound evolved. As the years went by, pop and folk influences became more noticeable in his sound.

Over the past three years, this talented new singer/songwriter has toured three times overseas in Europe and played over a hundred shows in Quebec, Ontario, the Maritimes and across the borders in California and New York. Time, hard work and perseverance have provided the artist with opportunities to share stages with Lewis Watson,Bobby Bazini, Kim Churchill.

In order to record his first EP, the artist teamed up with local producers Nicolas Roberge(San James, Groenland) and Patrice Pruneau(Rouge Pompier, Jeffrey Piton). On February 10 2017, Nicolas debut EP was released. With this album, the artist embraces light and bright pop flavours of his own, which are sometimes intertwined with his undeniable folk influences. While telling stories of changes and escapes, “Everything Is Changing” is also an invitation to stay. In order to promote his release, Nicolas embarked on tour (Qc / Ont) opening for various artists such as Ben Caplan, Groenland and Alexe Gaudreault.

Over the course of the last 10 months, Nicolas got to spend four weeks in California where he took some time to work on his next EP as well as playing a show at the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants). The artist also had the opportunity to play festivals in Quebec (St-Jerome Folk Fest, International Balloon of St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu) during summer time and to tour Belgium in September.
